Overview

The 1995 Porsche 968 is available in both a coupe and a convertible version. Although equipped with a modest 3.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, it packs quite a kick, delivering excellent speeds and performance alongside its sporty competition. It also stands out for its sleek, tapered design, compared to its stouter Porsche brethren. Because it was produced in smaller quantities than previous years, parts for it can be difficult to find, as well as costly. The upside is that it offers some of the best handling amongst the competition. Dropping the range of models featured in the past, the final year is a collectible vehicle for both its rarity and its outstanding performance and features. Offering style and performance, it serves as a fun, leisurely vehicle and has an excellent amount of trunk space, making it practical for everyday use as well.

The Range

What's New

There are no changes to the 1995 Porsche 968, and this is the final year that it is manufactured.

Exterior

Available as a two-door coupe or convertible, the 1995 Porsche 968 bears a sleek and sporty design with rounded corners and a tapered rear end, featuring the characteristic air dam on the front end and pop up headlights. Equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights are also among its standard exterior features. Optional features include metallic paint or special factory paint and 17-inch wheels with a spoke design.

Performance & Handling

Equipped with a standard 3.0-liter V-4, the Porsche 968 can produce 236 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. Possessing great weight distribution, it hugs the road around curves and corners and handles better than most vehicles in its class. The six-speed manual transmission shifts lightly and smoothly. Steering is responsive and the suspension is of a sturdy design. An optional four-speed automatic transmission is also available.
